Christmas day: successfully upgraded SAT-ATL and ATL-HPN.

SAT-ATL had 2 seats filled in Biz class 2 days before scheduled departure through 1.5 hours before sched. dep., then went to 6 seats filled shortly after that. I was upgraded at ~T-00:30 (asked at T-00:40 but the agent said she was busy and would call me back up in a few minutes, which she did); no one else officially upgraded (per the seat assignment webpage), but an Army grunt (non-officer) was placed in row 1, for 8 seats filled in all.

ATL-HPN started off with Biz class totally empty; I was upgraded at T-00:35 and only one other person upgraded (I don't know by what method). However, an elderly lady and her niece were moved to the front before takeoff.
